How to do a photoshoot at the Hermitage

I did 98 photo shoots in the Hermitage and here are the photo shoots that can be held in the most beautiful museum in St. Petersburg. (in my opinion)

Only wedding and corset dresses, which stand out a lot, and dresses with a long train will require payment for permission to take photos (10,000 rubles).
And in case we are made a remark, which happens very rarely, we can always continue shooting on the iPhone.
I know all the locations where at least there will be other people and museum visitors in the frame.
And you will definitely not get lost in the Hermitage with me, as I already know it like my own home)    

The images below were taken by me for the cost of the ticket.  


What is written on the Hermitage website:  
Amateur staged photography (weddings, photo shoots)

  • You can use special equipment, but without a flash or additional light. The group should not exceed 5 people, including the photographer/operator.
  • In addition to the entrance tickets, you will need to purchase 1 special ticket (10,000 RUB). 
  • The clothing of the participants should not disrupt the museum’s atmosphere, and sports, beach, transparent, revealing, or other outfits that are inappropriate for museum interiors are prohibited. 
  • The museum attendant or security officer may request a ticket for the staged photography.

    And how it translates:
    Photo shoots in flying dresses, wedding, strongly expressive images, on which it is directly visible that this is a photo shoot.
    In the museum, the keepers do not like noisy heels on stilts, as they spoil the parquet floor, which is all over the Hermitage in all the halls. Therefore, in the choice of footwear, it is advisable to choose a more flat heel. (not with iron tips and not very thin)
    And yes, we can do a photo shoot with flying dresses, but in this case we should pay 10000 rubles to museum.

Razilya is an excellent photographer and a beautiful, sweet girl. She always knows what to do and how to stand to capture the perfect shot, making everything easy and effortless. The photos are excellent, and it’s challenging to choose the best one. She is a professional, and I highly recommend her.
